What would deep sea creatures look like near the surface?

Question

After watching Blue Planet (amazing show) and its showcase of bioluminescent organisms, I wondered how they would look on the surface, or maybe even on the shores (simliar to how jellyfish wash up on the shores.) Would they just look transparent? I really don't know much about them. Can someone explain for me please?

Answer 1

most deep sea fish are kind of a pinkish color.. or silvery

is that's what you're asking

Answer 2

Like you said, they would look transparent.  They would most likely lose the bioluminesense activity though as they would die at the surface.
